Wait til you try 91 Performance. That's usually what I run. After awhile you kinda don't notice... Until you go back to stock and then it's like WOW

Haha well it depends where you wheel -- I've read that at high elevations 91 doesn't radical do much more than 87 for wheeling, but it's only 0.20 cents more per gallon & that's roughly 4 bucks more a fill-up -- doesn't break the bank so to speak IMO. I just feel it helps navigating the concrete jungle lol

Sorry metal cloak, Gold is cool buuut. And OME Yellow isnt my thang. Soo a color change was in order. Got half the kit done today. Im glad im doing it, the original coating on the ome shocks was terrible! Scratches and missed bare metal. Especially around the welds, which is the most susceptible area to rust. On the other hand the coating on all the metal cloak gear is thick! Still, Wont hurt to add a few layers of protection

thats not shadows. Its missed paint.
Scratches


I didnt take a before shot of the bracket but heres another part in the same coating

Aaand now


I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends

Yep, it's the surf blue. When you say pockets you are talking about the metal trays on the side right? Genesis wasn't very difficult, we were doing a wrenching party this weekend and there were 2-3 or us tinkering with it and it took a couple of hours. Probably could have done it faster if we had actually worked straight through, but you know how a wrenching party goes. I have to commend Genesis on their customer support, I called them with a question during the install and Shane answered up on a Saturday afternoon, gotta love that.

Nice! What'd you do on the motor?

Also, are your sliders one of the few that Mario in Rancho made before he sold the design?
